Bought this for my new touring bike (Novarra Safari). Have one also on my MTB. Has good effect on smoothing out ride, reduces jarring from potholes, cracks, expansions, etc. Nice looking, well made, relatively inexpensive, especially for the job it does.

First of all, keep in mind that this seat post doesn't make your bike a full suspension bike, but it works perfect by absorbing the hard impact of objects or cracks on the road as one inch big, I'm very very happy with this product and I didn't know that you can adjust the tension .

I've had this product longer than 4 yrs. Every once in a while I unexpectedly go over a jarring hole, and I thank the cushioning effect of the post every time. It's on my 15 yr old hybrid bike which I take everywhere. When this one wears out I'll surely buy another one.

I have back and neck problems that flare up only now and then. I ride a lot. This is my 3rd Nashbar suspension seatpost-about every 5000 mi. They make a real long term difference that let's me ride a lot. They are a bit heavier and do seem to wear faster--so that the seat starts to rotate on the post--than the one that came stock on my wife's. Great way to upgrade any standard post--easy to change out, no great investment.

I'm 56 and recently began riding a 1994 Bridgestone. I almost immediately began to have pain in my left hip. Changed the seat to a Cloud-9 and things got somewhat better. I decided to try a suspension seat post and based on reviews and the price, settled on the 2 MTB.

Between the springs in the seat and the "give" in this seat post, my hip issues seem much less severe.

Very impressive quality, fit and finish.

The only negative and it's not with the product was the agonizingly slow shipping. It took about eight days. I'm a regular internet shopper and am not used to shipping this slow.
